Emirates and Cultural Sponsorships

In addition to the airline’s extensive portfolio of sports sponsorships, Emirates is dedicated to the growth of global arts and culture through a number of sponsorships around the world.

Through partnerships with the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature, the Dubai Summer Surprises shopping festival, the Emirates Airline Dubai Jazz Festival and the Dubai International Film Festival, Emirates supports the UAE's economy and its cultural development. The events bring the finest talents in the world of music and performing arts to Dubai, creating a vibrant and culturally diverse experience.

On a global scale, Emirates’ commitment to global arts and culture is reflected through its sponsorship of the Melbourne and Sydney Australian Symphony Orchestras. The two orchestras combine the finest classical music talents of their respective cities, so it is only fitting that Emirates, which combines best-in-class products for a memorable flying experience, is principal partner to the Australian Symphonies.

KidZania, an Emirates sponsored initiative, introduces children to the thrills of an aviation-related career in a real-life airline environment experience at The Dubai Mall. Through the partnership with Emirates, KidZania offers children an opportunity to enact their dream roles as pilots and cabin crew.

Emirates believes the best opportunities in life come when bridges are built between cultures and when borders are blurred. Do that and a world of new possibilities awaits. Improving mobility and connecting citizens is our mission. It is at heart of all that we do, and is what makes Emirates the innovative and pioneering airline it is today.
